Toast Tuesday: in a jam

I have been exploring fermentation in many ways lately. I’ve got so many kobucha scobies that I’ve started naming them. I’m trying to eat more good yogurt and probiotics so I’ve started making yogurt again. I’ve said it before, but there is just something so satisfying about creating something from scratch. I really like goodContinue reading “Toast Tuesday: in a jam”

Thirsty Thursday goes Tiki

I hosted Happy Hour at home on Thursday for a bunch of ladies.   The evening was so much fun it has been decided this will be a yearly event, if not more often.  I had originally scheduled it during a bitter cold snap, but the day turned out so warm and lovely, we hadContinue reading “Thirsty Thursday goes Tiki”

Word of the Month: Epicure

I am a foodie.  There’s no doubt about that.  At the moment, I’m a food snob in a barren wasteland of deep fried fat and white bread. I’ve been slow to find other foodies.  Of course, coming from a place where a modest food cart can hide a gourmet delicacy around any corner, I’ve beenContinue reading “Word of the Month: Epicure”

for the love of pumpkin

While I could easily eat a Costco size pumpkin pie by myself on a daily basis, I would soon be the size of Costco.  So, in an ever evolving desire to be healthy and enjoy the pumpkin pie I love so much, I have been working as much pumpkin into my diet as humanly possible.Continue reading “for the love of pumpkin”

FEAST on fresh, homemade pasta

I finally hit a wall and went into work on Saturday to say I was taking (most of) Sunday off.  Just knowing I was going to have a day free to do whatever was a big relief.  Saturdays at the distillery, the girls and I have gotten in the habit of closing up shop andContinue reading “FEAST on fresh, homemade pasta”

Bean dip in a flash

What do you do when at the last minute you invite a few friends over for cocktails?  No food in the house?  A few random cans of whatever.  Make bean dip.  Crazy easy and the bowl was emptied very quickly.  I called this a success. Throw everything in the bowl of a food processor andContinue reading “Bean dip in a flash”

Green is Good

Thursdays have turned into girl’s night.  Watch Mad Men, craft, giggle and bitch.  oh, and eat of course.  We each bring a snack to share.  You can usually tell what kind of day it’s been depending on what shows up. This week I’ve been getting back to center after the madness of Rebuilding Together isContinue reading “Green is Good”

Lemony Lemon Ginger Scones

Baking for a Cause: The Trilogy… If it hadn’t been decided earlier (which I am sure it had) Lula’s Kitchen will never be a breakfast joint.  A) I’m not a huge fan of eating breakfast and B) I don’t like making breakfast.  And these past few weeks of baking for my big day of RebuildingContinue reading “Lemony Lemon Ginger Scones”

Pass over the scones

One of my favorite things about Passover is the charoset.  and truth be told, my charoset is the only reason I get invited to the Seders I do. 😉   I will admit, my charoset rocks!  I live off of it for a week.  It’s so easy to make, every year I think, why don’tContinue reading “Pass over the scones”

little miss muffin

We surround ourselves with people who compliment us.  Of course we aren’t going to hang out with someone who constantly tells us how fat we are or how bad we look.  The other compliment.  Their skills and traits are a good balance for our skills. I am the cook.  I am not the baker.  IContinue reading “little miss muffin”
